(4) K-3 Illustrated by Francisco Delgado. Carlitos's mother works two jobs but still can't support him and his grandmother. As she helps organize Los Angeles's janitors' strike of 2000, Carlitos finds a way to get involved in the cause. Carlitos's narration, appearing in both English and Spanish, doesn't always ring true, but his mother's character comes across, and Delgado's heavily shaded illustrations capture the workers' weariness and dignity.
